If the company where you are doing your course (dual training course or voluntary service) or the City of Hamburg or your administrative district in the surrounding region (full-time course at a vocational training college) contributes to the costs, you can get the hvv Deutschlandticket for apprentices/trainees (BonusTicket) for only € 29 per calendar month.
Apprentices and trainees
Dual training courses (with a subsidy from the company where you are doing your course)
Your employer must have a hvv Jobticket contract and pay a subsidy towards the hvv Deutschlandticket for apprentices/trainees or for those doing a voluntary service programme.
If the company where you are doing your course participates in the hvv Jobticket programme and gives you a subsidy towards your ticket, the hvv Deutschlandticket for apprentices/trainees (BonusTicket) will be ordered via your company. Please speak to the hvv Jobticket contact person in your company.
Full-time course at a vocational training college (with a subsidy from City of Hamburg/an administrative district in the surrounding region)
If you are doing a full-time course of vocational training at a college, this subsidy will be paid by the City of Hamburg or the participating administrative district.
The prerequisite is that the place where you are doing your course is in
- Hamburg
- Kreis Herzogtum Lauenburg
- Kreis Pinneberg
- Kreis Segeberg
- Kreis Stormarn
- Landkreis Harburg
- Landkreis Cuxhaven
- Kreis Steinburg: Students doing a full-time course of vocational training at the Berufsfachschule III (nursery and preschool teachers with integrated practical training still to be clarified) and other technical colleges, contrary to the ruling in the other administrative districts mentioned above, will be treated as if they were a full-time course at a school and will receive a student transport allowance free of charge."

Full-time course at a vocational training college
The hvv Deutschlandticket for apprentices/trainees doing a full-time course at a vocational training college must be ordered by the 10th of the month preceding the start of its validity (for example by the 10 April to be valid from 1 May).
